I whipped up a special new coffee blend.

w3, friday post-invest

[silicone]

[ well all of that happened and now eiden is taking a walk in the outer park, kicking a rock along. topper is rolling around in the grass somewhere, but hops up on his back legs when he sees kyoko and squeaks. ]

Hey. Kyoko - did you find anything...?

[factoring]

[She's just on a park bench and lost in thought. It takes a second before she acknowledges Eiden.]

Mm. We found evidence at a fight in Cold Topic. Burn marks and what I believe to be melted ice.

Did you?

[silicone]

[ oh, hum, he sits down beside her, hands braced a little on the bench. ]

Hooter's was a mess inside. Like someone tried to ride a motorcycle straight in and beefed it. Tons of water and some little specks of blood.

A weird fork with blood on the tines too.

[factoring]

[Her hands are folded in her lap right now, gloves on as usual.]

Weird fork? How so? We'll have to check it against the bodies and see if they match any of those wounds.

... Cold Topic was also brighter than normal, considering all the smoke in there.

[So the likely psychs: Pyro, Cryo, and Photo.]

[silicone]

Weird in that I didn't expect to find blood on the tines. Other than that it's normal.

[ leaning back against the bench because bad. ]

Brighter...? Alright. Then I guess that really shortens our list... by a lot.

[factoring]

Injury check, I suppose.

[Hm.]

There's only three teams it could be. We'll have to figure out the pathing as well.

[silicone]

[ nodding quickly. ] Definitely, even if things have been healed over... we know they leave a mark, right?

[ he groans and just gazes upwards. ]

This is insane...

[factoring]

Mm. Unless somebody could manage to put in a full heal... But they'd be too exhausted to use their psych at all tomorrow.

[She nods in response.]

How are you holding up?

[silicone]

Mmm, and then we have to look into secondary healing capabilities too, right...?

[ he sighs, shaking his head a little. ]

Doing my best, I think. Nervous because we'll have to do everything but double tomorrow...

[factoring]

Of course.

[Kyoko's in full on work mode.]

Two bodies means twice the work early. We'll also need to be mindful of the time as we investigate.

[silicone]

Mmm, smaller groups like we did today probably...

At the end of the day, though... two people are gone. Do you think it was one team? Or two...? They went for two completely different teams.

[factoring]

It needs to be fast, but it also needs to be thorough.

[Hums.]

Without all the evidence I'm reluctant to lock in any sort of theory about how many teams acted.

[silicone]

[ nod nod nod ]

... We'll figure it out tomorrow. We've done it every week... and even if it sucks...

[ his jaw sets ] They at least deserve the truth.

[factoring]

Yes, they do.

[She can say that, can't she?]

For now, rest and take care of yourself. There's very little you can do if you stay up worrying all night.

[silicone]

I know... [ head dipping. ] Just hard when there's so much to think about. But you're right. Gotta make sure we're ready to run around like crazy tomorrow.

[factoring]

We'll make our findings reports tomorrow. See where we can go from there.

There's a lot of ground to cover.
